<br />.L <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br /> <br /> <br />Topic Report: Potential Business Park <br /> <br />By: Amber G. Miller, Cornm1ini.ty Development Director <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Identifying land for a future industrial park was one of the priorities discussed in the Council Strategic <br />Goals. Curt Martinsori, ofPSD LLC, will be present to outline a concept to develop a business park <br />on property in southwestern Ramsey. This concept was presented to the EDA in February at their <br />regular Board meeting. <br /> <br />This area has been identified in the Draft Comprehensive Plan as Office Park. The Draft Plan has not <br />been reviewed by the Metropolitan Council so this review may be somewhat premature; but provides <br />a good opportunity to give input into the project at an early stage in the development. Council is <br />unable to formally review the plan until the Comprehensive Plan is adopted and the zoning code is <br />changed. The land use designation "Office Park" does not currently exist. The Draft Comprehensive <br />Plan states that "the Office Park designation is intended to accommodate corporate campus, office, <br />office-showroom, and other low-impact, job-producing uses that are less intense than those found in <br />the Business Park areas." The zoning code will have to be amended to add this designation once the <br />Plan is officially adopted. Then the property will have to be re-zoned to come into compliance for this <br />proposed use. The property in qu~stion is currently zoned R-l. <br /> <br />Action Statement: <br /> <br />Will be based on Council's~ W <br /> <br />Reviewed by: ~ <br />City Administrator . <br />~ f <br /> <br />CCWS: 04-14-09 <br />
